Net value of Aaron Rodgers following his record-breaking NFL contract signing
Given his enormous net wealth, it seems doubtful that Aaron Rodgers’ projected blockbuster acquisition will be influenced by money.
Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, signed a three-year, $150 million contract deal in March 2022. However, following the team’s disappointing performance in the previous season, there has been conjecture over where the four-time MVP will spend his substantial salary in the upcoming season.
According to Forbes’ 2022 wealthy list of athletes, Aaron Rodgers has an incredible net worth of $68 million. This amount is made up of assets from his illustrious career as well as numerous endorsements and business endeavours.
Before the 39-year-old’s lavish extension this spring, which followed some controversy in the 2021 off-season, Rodgers bought a minority ownership share in the Milwaukee Bucks, the NBA team that represents Wisconsin.
In addition, the ten-time Pro Bowler used Roth capital to launch a $50 million venture and growth stage fund in 2019. This helped him rank 14th among the wealthiest athletes in Forbes 2022, but he was unable to make the Celebrity 100 after finishing 16th in 2019 and disappearing completely in 2020.

Being one of the most successful quarterbacks of his time, Aaron Rodgers is expected to make $11 million in 2022 from his wide portfolio of endorsement deals, which includes brands like Adidas, Block Inc., Bose, Fanatics, Panini, State Farm Mutual Auto Insurance, TaylorMade, and Zenith.
The remaining $57 million comes from his work with the Packers, who have maintained their reputation as one of the top teams in American football, even with the end of the previous season.
In 2010, the Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 31–25 to win their fourth Super Bowl triumph. The California native was named MVP of the game after completing 24 of 39 passes for nearly 300 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions.
With 475 touchdowns in all, Aaron Rodgers ranks fifth all-time in NFL passing touchdowns. He is one of just two active players in the top 10, placing four sports above Matt Ryan of the Indianapolis Colts.
But after months of conjecture and whispers of discord at Green Bay, it appears like Rodgers and the team that selected him in the 2005 draft will call it quits on their almost two-decade partnership this offseason. One of the teams most likely to sign him is the New York Jets.
